Bookroo's summary

A young boy embarks on a magical journey aboard the Rain Train, chugging through a stormy night. As the train whooshes past city lights, over rivers, and through tunnels, he listens to the rhythmic patter of rain. Safe and snug, he experiences the thrill of adventure while the world outside is drenched in rain. What wonders await as morning approaches?

From the publisher

All aboard! Take a train ride through a storm at night in a rhythmic readaloud chugging with sound words and full of striking illustrations. A pitter-pat-pat, a pitter-pat-pat, A pittery-pittery-pittery-pat. When it’s thundering down on the roof, in the lane, From the storm comes the call . . . “All aboard the Rain Train!” What child wouldn’t like to hop on a train, hand over his ticket, and set off on an exciting ride through a rainy night? Safe from the elements, a young boy listens and watches– in his seat, in the dining car, and snug in his sleeper– as his train whooshes past city lights, over rivers, through tunnels, and straight on to morning.
